Garden Checklist

From The Fresno Bee, January 4, 2010:

Ornamental and fruit-bearing trees will bloom this month in backyards and along the eastern side of Fresno County's Blossom Trail.

Tasks--Thoroughly water trees and shrubs if rainfall is light.
Pruning--Wait to prune spring-flowering shrubs until after they bloom.
Fertilizing--Fertilize citrus late in the month.
Planting--Plant annuals and perennials for spring bloom, spring vegetables and summer blooming bulbs; lenten rose (Helleborus orientalls); Asiatic lilies; green onion sets, leeks, lettuce; from seed: statice (Limonium sinuatum); maiden hair trees (Ginkgo biloba), golden tree (Koelreuteria).
Things to Ponder--Sharp tools make cleaner cuts. Clean and maintain pruning equipment.
